Bible Question:
What is the earliest recorded date of anything we have in all written history. Please be very specfic with the source of your information. Thanks for your help. justme |
Bible Answer: Justme I would say Genesis 1:1. In the beginning. Can't get much earlier than that. If you mean oldest piece of written communications I think it is the text of Hammurabi written in cuneiform by the Sumerians. It is thought to be 5000 years old. However as I first said the Bible documents events that occurred earlier. EdB |
